That sucks man. You shouldn’t give up. I never gave up and completed my car in December 2017. A lot of blood sweat and tears went into your car. I hope you change your mind and get a good game plan.

[@2_2_4_3]

@@MITONFILMS I went through this in 2003, felt like I was growing up and I'm driving a hatch lol, I was mid 20s, I went and sold my JDM EG hatch and bought a Mercedes. . Spent more money on that thing than I ever did my Honda and never had real fun with it. Regretted it for years. Bought a Integra after that but I crashed it and lost my license in the process. Long story short it took me 12 years to get my license back. I spent 12 years dreaming about going back in time and never selling that Hatch. Im old now but the kid in me brought me back to my dream car. . I drive a All Motor Civic B20V and I couldn't be happier.

[@MITONFILMS]

Wow..........Been in the game in the early days...Im gonna regret this as well a bit, but it is for a good cause. I refuse to sell this for a new car. Just know it will be 25 years old and a Honda.

[@2_2_4_3]

@@MITONFILMS it's understandable, we all have our reasons I know I did at the time. I had a daughter and then got a better paying job. Felt like I was being unsafe out racing late nights and also it was a hatch and I thought at my age I should be driving something nicer. That Hatch was no show car, was street ready primered ugly but damn it was a fun high revving screamer B16.

Cars are not something financially beneficial

[@MITONFILMS]

oh they can be if your smart about it!!

[@HWandW]

Sometimes they can be; more often the collector cars that appreciate in value are exotic & rare. I think (just my opinion) that cars with manual transmissions will go up in value since they are hardly made anymore. But that’s a 20-30 year bet. Which, BTW, I’m taking.

[@Sesamestreet9080]

Miton Films no cars financially good things to keep. Even more if you mod it up. It’s better just to save up your money

[@HWandW]

Sesamestreet9080 On an Integra, it is possible to put in a $400 turbo setup and then sell it for $800 more. But that money can only be gained from selling it. Also mods that increase the efficiency of a vehicle can be worth it; e.g. running an older diesel on veggie oil or using one of George Wiseman’s products from Eagle Research.

[@Sesamestreet9080]

HWandW mods rarely never raise the price mostly drop it because of its unique . Cars themselves aren’t really investments unless you got a car that’s sought after

[@jaythesizzler1691]

Damn I’ve had my del sol si for 6 years. And there’s no way I’m selling it. I grew up and drive a reliable 2014 civic sedan for the family but I’ll always have my sol in the garage.

I always have an Integra , but it may not be this one ;)

[@Musica2013ful]

Man things happens, but everything happens for a reason, iknow the feeling.. i had an eg 95 building a k20/k24 but i stopped cux to much money and not even a first start, so I decided to change it for a semi build already 1997 del sol with a b16a2 and s80 tranny with some internals already and i am happy with it, planning to trow a b18c block later and turbo it but wanna see how i do first on dragstrip this year,,, so bro, take your time our passion isnt easy specially when we dont have a team to help us build and all that but lil by lil we can make it, keep going life doesn’t stop here 👍🏽 blessings

I’ve been frustrated with it countless times and probably will continue to be frustrated with my car in the future. Think it over, and do what’s best for yourself.

[@Nperez1986]

I love your passion for the car. I've been there..in your age...my '06 B15 Nissan Sentra SE-R...my first car...the best thing I did was store it and drive on with another car. I believe you'll be happier in the long run if you did manage to keep it....remember one day we'll be those old guys lamenting what we used to own and wish we still had. Keep pushing for your goals, we've all for the most part have been there, tired of modifying, etc...trust me the "next" ride that is as "complete' as you want...you'll still want to make it your own :)

[@duweydang]

Sad to hear but I think the problem with most projects is that they never enjoy it to keep it from losing interest. The motor swap and some decent brakes would’ve gotten you started in the track. The grind with trying to have a decked out setup takes a toll on you unless you have the cash flow. Hopefully you try to get it on the track for a session or two before really giving up on it.

[@MITONFILMS]

The crazy part is its true. To build a car on the track for entertainment purposes is very difficult financially and mentally. With my limited funds im stuck in a rut by trying to produce content and build a decent car. I think I may do one more test and tune and time attack event to feel better about retiring it.

[@marky685]

[@chrisgriffin7357]

I feel ya. I just bought a 16 sti and now have to part with my baby 97 gs-r turbo. Damn these MN winters and the need for awd : (

[@vanquishstorm3806]

I feel as though you are going to be importing a genuine JDM DC2 RHD ITR? If you are able to sell your current swap, I would consider keeping the teg and installing a much cheaper engine such as a B20 or B18B and keep it OEM NA. You put a lot of time and effort into that car. I would keep it unless I were to receive a solid respectable offer for it. Keeping a motor OEM is always going to be more reliable long term and more cost efficient as long as you stay on top of basic maintenance. You would then be able to focus more on developing and honing your driving skill on a road course opposed to modifying a motor for more power output. If you blow up the motor no bid deal as B20's/B18B's are cheap. The most important thing the car would be reliable to drive wherever you want whenever you want. In the end do what makes you happy. Much props for tackling on automotive projects on your own without any real guidance just learning as you go. I do the same.

[@MITONFILMS]

Road racing has always been about money, If you dont have it.......what's the point. The ultimate goal still is to go from nothing to something but this chassis is just not the one. Its old and costs too much to restore. Itd be much easier to start on something with less mileage. If the motor and trans dont sell. Ill keep it ,but this whole import thing will still happen no matter what.

[@Johnman5757]

You need one time attack event with this thing before it gets parted out. Climbed 3/4 of the mountain only to turn back. I understand though the desire to get your dream car. Do what makes you happy, the rest will come naturally.

[@MITONFILMS]

To get to that 1 event id have to spend another $1k+ on tuning and tires etc. I may do one event who knows. Im just cutting the funding from the build for awhile until I make up my mind.

[@Johnman5757]

@@MITONFILMS Don't "need" tires to go. Built a nice engine and haven't tuned it on the dyno, it's a shame. I was looking forward to seeing the dyno/impressions after tuning. Then at least one track event to see how all the stuff you did to the car improved it. Whatever you do I will still watch.

[@MITONFILMS]

If i dont get anywhere near my asking price the build will continue. Itll just be a slow crawl from this point on.

[@airfryerdeluxe5543]

That sucks, was hoping to see you take it to the track after doing all the mods. But hey, a dream car is a dream car, I'd do whatever it took to acquire one too. You were on the way to carving your niche with the track build IMO. I mean, you still can, it's just delayed now.

[@joat9105]

road racing isnt popular in youtube, but theres not many youtuber doin it, and youre the one i always watch to bcos of ur project, ive been following you since u buy thar gsr. time attack and other stuff like that is just for a certain ppl who love it man, if it ur passion why should u stop it

[@tylerlathouwers6558]

This surprised me as it was completely out of the blue, especially with all the work you’ve been doing with it lately. However I do support your decision. You shouldn’t keep the car just because that’s what makes a lot of us here happy. Working on one car for a long time does eventually get boring. It’s a bit disappointing as it was a lot of hard work and time just for it to be parted out. Although the car is going away, you’ll keep all the things you’ve learned with you. Get the car you truly want and make content that you want. It’d be nice if the car was sold whole but not really the way to go if you’re looking to get as much money back as you can. In a couple years you’ll look back on the teggy and really appreciate what it was.

I agree w/the ppl saying you'll regret it... once upon a time I was building a da9 integra... lots of money into the lsvtec... portflow p&p, twm itbs, hytech header, toda d specs, eagle titanium rods, eagle crank, darton sleeves, wiseco 84.5mm pistons- the list goes on... had some mishaps with suppliers not shipping stuff and gave up on it. parted it out and lost lots of money + never got to hear it scream or see how much hp it would make... at times I'm glad I got out of it but more often I look back with nothing but regret. if you feel you gotta move on I get it... but... maybe someday you'll look back and wonder why you didn't stick it out

[@SimpleEW]

I thought having a project car was about learning, having fun, meeting cool people and doing what you like. As soon as you start thinking about the money aspect then you realize how much you’ve spent and want to get rid of what you’ve created.
